Re: (ET) mystery motor



5BC48JB43B

1.5HP  36VDC  Series wound  2,800RPM

 

  1958 model originally made for Cushman.  Ball bearings on both ends.

Remember it is series wound so a large contactor is needed to reverse it if used for a drive/traction motor.

I suspect it was probably a belted drive motor for a small Cushman vehicle.

I don't believe that was a motor used on the GE machines, as it doesn't match any of the numbers Walt put out a while back. The tiller and snowblower motors were 2.5 HP at 3100 RPM and the larger drive motors were 1 HP and 1.2 HP at 2200 RPM for the E-15 and E-20, respectively.

 

However, it is in the range of operation, so the pulley size could be varied to match the original ratio at that rated RPM.
